Compare Flexible IR vs. NetWitness

We have developed a structured approach to enhance incident response (IR) skills through targeted training for responders, particularly in specialized fields like healthcare. Scenarios are derived from both VerisDB and a curated list of Flexible IR incidents, allowing managers to assess their team's current capabilities and devise actionable plans for improvement. By utilizing the Mitre Att&ck Matrix, we can pinpoint specific areas that require further practice. Our runbooks are continually refined through the integration of Symbolic AI, ensuring they remain relevant and effective. Designed to be straightforward, our baseline runbooks facilitate incident management and can be tailored to fit individual environments and the needs of security analysts. Moreover, we conduct expert audits of these runbooks to enhance their quality. This process also aids in mentoring less experienced team members in the realms of threat hunting and incident response. We further simulate adversarial scenarios to provide practical experience, while also emphasizing the importance of ongoing skill development for analysts. Our strategy aligns with the critical 1-10-60 rule for incident response, incorporating a skill matrix and point system to foster continuous motivation and structured learning. Additionally, the system features basic gamification elements, such as card-based games, to make the learning process more engaging and enjoyable. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach not only strengthens individual capabilities but also enhances the overall effectiveness of the incident response team.

The NetWitness Platform integrates advanced SIEM and threat defense tools, providing exceptional visibility, analytical power, and automated response functions. This integration empowers security teams to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness, elevating their threat-hunting capabilities and allowing for quicker investigations and responses to threats throughout the organization’s entire infrastructure, whether it is located in the cloud, on-premises, or virtual environments. It offers the crucial visibility necessary for uncovering complex threats concealed within today’s multifaceted hybrid IT ecosystems. With its capabilities in analytics, machine learning, orchestration, and automation, analysts can more swiftly prioritize and probe into potential threats. The platform is designed to identify attacks in a significantly shorter time frame compared to other solutions and links incidents to reveal the comprehensive scope of an attack. By gathering and analyzing data from multiple capture points, the NetWitness Platform significantly speeds up the processes of threat detection and response, ultimately enhancing the overall security posture. This robust approach ensures that security teams are always a step ahead of evolving threats.
